[Starphoenix]

How about that coach Blatt holding back the Cavs.

 

[Fjordson]

McDermott with some awful defense tonight, goddamn.

McDermott with some awful defense tonight, goddamn.

Sadly that's one guy that won't improve....he doesn't have the agility and athletic ability to keep up with any of the 3' or even 4's.

 

[LyleLanley]

Fatty Sullinger and David Lee make perfect sense.

I'd go so far as to throw in Jerebko.

Jerebko or Sullinger, but not both.

Who says no?

 

[Blablurn]

I blame Blatt though

He was not up for the challenge.

Dont mees with LeBron

 

[slightconfuse]

Caves need shooter not more big men

Trade Tristan Thompson

 

[Mutagenic]

I can't believe Kobe is 6-25 in the Moda Center.

 

[Owzers]

I presume they didn't implement Kevin Love's new role for the team yet? Seemed to hang around the perimeter like usual, but i was distracted by Xenoblade X some of the time....

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Cavs gonna make some trades for sure.

 

[ViciousDS]

LeBron shot 11-27 in Cleveland lol

I don't think Ainge makes that trade.

Maybe lebron should try to fix his shitty jumper.

 

[LyleLanley]

Cavs gonna make some trades for sure.

They're going to trade away some no-name bench player and pretend that will solve all of their problems.

I don't think Ainge makes that trade.

Yeah, the Cavs may need to throw in a pick or two.

 

[Eos]

Fire Lue

 

[Mutagenic]

LeBron shot 11-27 in Cleveland lol

I meant his record all-time.

 

[RockTurtle]

s'ok guys this is just a transition period. Coach had a blank tablet ready to download everything and was deep in notes.

cramming before a major test!

 

[Blablurn]

lebrons jumper is fine, friend

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

I just realized derrick has shot 4-18 and we are still up by 15 .....unreal.


Wtf derrick you were shooting 50% the last month!!

He attacked though, can't ask for much more, they just weren't falling.

That last pity call for LeBron was a joke.

 

[cb1115]

panic trade time let's get it

http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=hjexhzw

 

[LyleLanley]

Fire Lue

They should hire David Blatt.

 

[Tom Penny]

Being the worst shooter outside the paint in the entire NBA isn't so bad.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Sadly that's one guy that won't improve....he doesn't have the agility and athletic ability to keep up with any of the 3' or even 4's.

Even when he plays as well as he can defensively, he gets called.

I was thinking that maybe he could become a Kyle Korver on defense who is not a liability but it just doesn't seem like it's happening.

Doug made a terrible grab-foul on LeBron on that play but that was Jimmy's fault. LeBron doesn't fool anyone when he goes straight to the basket, Jimmy should have stayed in front of him.

Problem is I see korver open on off ball screens. I just never see McDermott getting away from the defender enough. Only open looks he gets is when he's spotting in the corner and then when he is open....he hesitates and doesn't pull the trigger and tries to drive.

 

[fertygo]

Jimmy outplaying PG and Lebron in consistent basis yet our record still average as shit, front office pls

Yeah, that's a good point.

McDermott doesn't get open nearly as much as Korver or Dunleavy for the matter.

I guess it's his lack of speed.

That works in college when there's no defense but not in this league.

To his credit, McDermott shoots every time when he has a sliver of space but he rarely gets wide open looks unless there is a breakdown in the defense.

 

[Corran Horn]

Boogie so good.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Cleveland just had one of those terrible shooting nights. Call it Chicago's defense if you wish, but Chicago didn't have a hand in anyone's face during free throws. The basket had a lid on it, what are you going to do?

It seemed as if Kyrie just wasn't all that aggressive tonight. The box score surprises me, as he did manage to get up 16 shots (missed 11 of them), but only 2 in the 4th quarter and it didn't really seem that the ball was in his hands all that often.

he was great in trainwreck tho

Dibs on whether Pop rests his starters on Monday?

Rest them now....play golden state at home in San antonio...but I still want to see them play sooooooo bad.

Pop gonna troll the world and we'll see the whole bench play 30+ mins

 

[Dre3001]

Yep, Blatt was clearly the problem. Good job guys. You showed him.

Im starting to wonder if the media will ever address the elephant in the room instead of continually blaming others.

How is it that nobody who has coached Lebron is viewed as a being any good?

Paul Silas, Mike Brown, Eric Spoelstra and now David Blatt.

Is it a matter of GMs repeatedly making terrible hires for coaches or rather Lebron is uncoachable and will only listen to a shill of a coach that will let him do whatever he wants?

Edit: Found a link of Shaq saying the same thing about Mike Brown that Haywood was saying about Blatt. Lebron was never held accountable

Yes.

 

[Lionel Richie]

A little bit late to be piling on, but LOL Lue. That's why you were a piece of shit player, and now you're a piece of shit coach on a piece of shit franchise that employs the world's shitiest "best player in the world" piece of shit. Enjoy not winning shit.

Yeah, quotes were taken a bit out of context or bad reported above, but Blatt got so shafted in Cleveland it's beyong anything absurd that happened in the NBA since at least the Marion trade by Phoenix. It's the kind of fuckery that's fucks a franchise royally.

 

[eBay Huckster]

Can the Cavs travel that far back in time?

Even if they could, he'd have to be on their roster for them to trade him.

 

[Corran Horn]

Kings win! 5th in a row!


Rondo with his 6th triple double and boogie with 48 points/13 rebounds.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Kings win! 5th in a row!

Watch out, Golden State. 8 seed putting on some big boy pants.

 

[offtopic]

So Lue is blaming it on his team not being in shape. This is going to turn out well...

 

[BIG_V-G-V]

Boogie is playing at another level. 11th game this season with at least 30pts and 10reb

 

[LyleLanley]

Since the new year he's been averaging 30.9 & 13.8. I don't think he's getting traded anytime soon.

Coach Rat Boy is laying down the law...

If Kawhi sits on Monday I'll be surprised if Curry doesn't when they play the next time.
